LOL!
Not likely. How old is Chris Wallace? How long has the MSM been asking these same questions?
No, Chris Wallace is now simply projecting his employers line, and if and when he goes to another employer he will echo their montra. JMHO

"Fox News Sunday" host Chris Wallace said Friday that since leaving the mainstream networks behind to join Fox he's noticed an "astonishing" amount of biased reporting on the part of his former colleagues.
"I came from the mainstream media and I didn't used to feel this way," Wallace told WRKO Boston radio host Howie Carr.
In radio interviews he does to promote his Sunday broadcast, Wallace said, the questions he gets are almost always slanted against the Bush administration.

Wallace further states:
"Fox News wouldn't exist if it weren't for this kind of stuff going on in the mainstream media," he told Carr. "That's why people are fed up with that and want the antidote to it because they get it and they've gotten it for years - the so-called bias in the objective press."
Was he raised in a cage? His father is a prime example of the media bias.
I have an Aunt who tells me that she can't stand President Bush. When I ask her for specific reasons, she can't come up with any. She "just doesn't like him."
Then she went on about how low the President's ratings are, and I told her that I was amazed at how high they were, given the fact that people like her, who get all of their news from either newspapers (in our case, the KC "Red" Star), or the alphabet broadcast networks (she doesn't have cable), never hear a single good thing that's going on, either with the President, or the war on terror, or Iraq. When confronted with this statement, she was unable to think of a single favorable news report she's seen regarding the Bush administration, or anything it's done.

For these remarks Mr Wallace is sure to be written out of his old man's will.
Yes he was raised in a cage. Sometimes you have to stand away from something to get a clear view of it.
Your aunt is a prime example of why the democRATS get any votes at all.

Sad that he couldn't see it before. Great that he can see it now.
Who said "only fools learn from experience"?
Anyway, there are so many Americans who can't learn at all, not even from experience, that it's gratifying to watch the Education of Chris Wallace.
It's the same with my boss-- who's a BIGTIME Bush/Rove/Halliburton/everything is a conspiracy person.
The funniest thing I get when I confront people like him and other libs is a 'Don't you listen to the news!!'
And I usually say "Well, yes, but obviously mine's more accurate than yours" (OK, I tone it down with my boss ;) )
Yup. It's going to be a tense Thanksgiving at the Wallace household this year.
"noticed an "astonishing" amount of biased reporting"
No s__t Dick Tracy!
Wallace is squishy, no matter if he says the right thing to Howie. We call this singing for his supper.
Glad to hear it. The MSM seems mostly populated by end-justfies-the-means left-wing activists, anymore.
You would have thought that Mr. Wallace would have read Bernard Goldberg’s books “Bias” and “Arrogance”, long ago.
Sometimes when you are in the problem you can't see it.
Now that he is exposed to working with more balanced people like Brit Hume he probably is realizing stuff he never did before.
I remember an intelligent, older, black conservative woman talking on Rush about this. Rush asked her why blacks were sold out to the party that kept them on the plantation, and she told him it was like a culture.
The political converstation was limited to Demo talking points, and people didn't hear anything elsea among their peers, so they believed it.
I have a friend who feels the same way. "I just don't like Bush. He doesn't seem smart." When I press him for specifics, he says "Its the smirk on his face."
I think we are related because my Aunt says the same things - same situation - no cable, products of the MSM.
I have to go to a family reunion next weekend with this Aunt and about 15 other relatives that are "Union Democrats." My Aunt sent out an email that there will be "NO POLITICS" signs to avoid arguements. I told her to grow up. She is afraid of being called out on her snide remarks - which liberals dipense constantly and NEVER want answered. It will be a fun weekend!
The perspective in tendentious journalism.By "tendentious journalism" I mean anyone who claims to report objectively. Such a claim is inherently tendentious since the problem of story selection (what report to feature, what reports to publish, and what reports to ignore) reveals the fact that objectivity is impossible in principle.
